Set boundaries to protect our time from "summary" of 168 Hours by Laura Vanderkam
To make the most of our time, we must be intentional about setting boundaries. This means being clear about our priorities and what we want to achieve, and then establishing limits to protect our time and energy. Without boundaries, our time can easily be consumed by other people's demands and distractions, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled. Setting boundaries is not about being selfish or rigid, but about creating space for the things that matter most to us. It involves saying no to things that do not align with our goals and values, and setting aside time for activities that bring us joy and fulfillment. By setting boundaries, we can ensure that we have the time and energy to focus on what truly matters to us. One way to set boundaries is to establish clear expectations with others about how we want to spend our time. This may involve communicating our priorities and limits, and being assertive about our needs and boundaries. It may also involve delegating tasks to others or saying no to requests that do not align with our goals. Another way to set boundaries is to create physical and mental space for the things that matter most to us. This may involve scheduling time for activities that bring us joy and fulfillment, and creating a physical environment that supports our priorities. It may also involve setting limits on how much time we spend on activities that do not align with our goals.- Setting boundaries is about taking control of our time and energy, and ensuring that we are spending them in ways that align with our goals and values. By setting boundaries, we can create the space we need to focus on what truly matters to us, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
